Lovely morning ....

14th February 2026 (Saturday)  .... This is "St Valentine's Day".... the day of love and red roses.

   9.45 .... We have a lovely, bright, sunny and chilly morning.   I see that the sun has cleared the car windscreen,so I might go to the harbour after morning coffee.   There's a washing going through the machine just now, which I'll hang out though I doubt if it will dry because there's only a light breeze.

17.00    It has been a lovely, sunny day;  but it was cold.    I went to Elie to hand in my prescription, and to the 'paper Shop' .    I had intended going to the harbour but, for some reason, the roads were busy and there was loads of people wandering around.    In fact when I reversed out to come home a stream of traffic came the other way and I had to wait until they passed before I got going.   I went up the Elie road, then down Ferry road for a wee run.   Not much happen there;  although I met another stream of traffic on the Elie road.    The sun must have brought everyone out to play.  It certainly has been a big change of weather.

The washing I hung out wasn't quite dry, but drier than I expected it to be.   I'll iron the bits that need ironing this evening.    It was bitterly cold when I was bringing in the washing

I was tempted to get 'The Buggy' out after lunch, but the air was too cold;  so I've had a restful day watching the  the Olympics;  and I have the Six Nations, Scotland v England.    

I slept the whole night through last night, so must have been tired.... probably at the thought of the dusting I was going to do this morning.    That reminds me!.... it hasn't been done yet!

20.30     Scotland 31 - England 20;  that was the result of the Six Nations match at Murrayfield this afternoon.    It has been an exciting afternoon.   

Sleet and rain showers are forecast overnight, with heavy rain tomorrow;  so it's back to wet, cauld and

windy!.... but only for one day (tomorrow).    It's to be brighter on Monday, and bonnie on Tuesday.    

I'm going to have a look at the News;  after making a cuppa, and finding a goodie to go with it.

Today's photos:  Top - romantic red rose!    Middle and Bottom taken at Elie (outside the Chemist's).

7th May 2025 (Wednesday)    08.15 .... "Sunny intervals with a light breeze" is today's weather forecast for.... KY9, Ellon, Uckfield (Sussex) and London:  it's going to be a bonnie day all over the UK.  The breeze is from the Easterly direction so the East coast will be cooler; but it will be warm sheltered from the breeze.   It's a nice, peaceful kind of morning at Elie and Earlsferry:  the sky is a mix of fluffy clouds and blue bits, and the temperature is 11.6C just now.   3.3C was the minimum overnight.  20.30     I'd been reading about the cyber attack on M & S, Harrods and the Co-op... so, feeling inquisitive, for my morning 'mission' I decided to go to The Store (Ainster) and see how the 'attack' was affecting our local 'Store'.   The first thing I noticed was the car park wasn't as busy as normal and all the Disabled spaces were empty.  Inside the store,  the empty vegetable and fruit...

3rd October 2025 (Friday)     10.30 .... It's a quiet morning; after a lot of overnight rain this is the calm before the storm.... 'Storm Amy', that is going to bring strong winds and heavy rain, this afternoon and Saturday.  It could be a good drying morning!   Anyway all is still at the moment.   I'm going to see if I can rescue a few of the apples that are still attached to the tree.    Actually I think I'll have morning coffee first. 04 12.30    We had a power cut  (45 minutes) last night ,so I unplugged the computer.    We got the torches and candles out, chatted for a while then went to bed.

Windy and wet .....

4th August 2025 (Monday)    08.45 ....  It's breezy with light rain just now;  but the rain is going to move away and the wind freshen to 'gale', with sunny intervals and squally showers, by midday.   There could interesting clouds, and stormy seas.    I won't be going out on the bike!    High tide is at 11.20;  there will be an abundance of fresh air on the beach today.  11.00  The wind is freshening, from the SW, as can be seen in the photo of the 'Glenfuir' flags (Swiss, USA and Jersey).    Sunny intervals are starting to come over, so it's a bonnie enough day now, albeit breezy:  F5 - 6 with stronger gusts now and again. 19.30  It has certainly been a wild old day, but the wind is moderating, and tomorrow will be much quieter.   It was F8 - 9 at times out on the bay.   Which is why HMS Iron Duke (Type 23 frigate) is sheltering off Elie and Earlsferry.      HMS Iro...
